Good stuff. Thanks.

Feels like there should be another tier with how bad UIC and Evansville are. Bradley's two roadies are at Illinois State and Valpo. Two games that Bradley should absolutely win but would not at all be surprised at a split.

[BruinGrad]

There isn't a major difference between the top 4 and the middle 4. Belmont has to play 3 with the middle 4, so I don't view it as much of an advantage with only playing one top 4 on the road. It's going to be a tough finish for our first year in the MVC.

[IllinoisState]

I agree. At the very least for Evansville.

I think there are like 4 tiers in terms of toughest games.

1-8 all tough games.

Valpo/ILL S - you can definitely lose in this tier

UIC - you should probably win in this tier

Evansville - losing in this tier should automatically eliminate you from Arch Madness.

Will UNI win another game? Will Drake lose another game? I was convinced that Drake had no depth and was done, but was wrong. I knew UNI wasn't top 4, but never expected a below .500 conference finish. Not good.

The Drake @ Bradley game on Sunday the 26th is starting to loom pretty large as far as the league title goes. SIU will have their say in the matter with a game still to play @Drake and vs. Bradley as all 3 top teams control their own destiny, starting Saturday with SIU @Drake.
